For Your Viewing Pleasure: 280 Pages of Question To Cuomo, Cabinet

Pushed by Freedom of Information Law requests from a pair of media outlets, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration released 280 pages of questions submitted by the public to the governor and members of his cabinet during weekly online chats.

Cuomo’s office launched the live chat feature back in September, when Cuomo answered 16 questions over the course of an hour from his New Castle, Westchester County, home. The records show he was bombarded with questions regarding the controversial topic of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, choosing not to respond to all but one of them and urging people to save them for his environmental conservation commissioner a few weeks later.

Wrote Nancy from Suffolk County: “Extremely concerned about your passing or allowing Nat. Gas Fracking. Please do not do this!!!”
